<p>Nuclear: The hardest part of a major in MEIS for most students would be the language component, but you have a running head start on that. Many students who think that MEIS would be a cool/smart thing to major in are quickly dissuaded after a semester of Arabic. It’s a hard language to learn, as you no doubt already know. The history, culture, literature, and religion MEIS classes are similar to classes in any other humanities major—lots and lots of reading and one or more major papers per semester. If you really do want to work both hemispheres of your brain Math/MEIS would definitely accomplish that goal. I know zip about the math curriculum ay NYU. That hemisphere of my brain withered away long ago, unfortunately, and my daughter inherited my math phobia as well. She did minor in MEIS. Your plans sound ambitious but doable, if you are are a hard worker. The best advice I can give to you, or to any incoming Freshman, is never get behind on your reading.</p>
